Mumbai, June 10: After scaring us with his last horror movie Phoonk, Ram Gopal Varma hopes to send more chills down our spine with Agyaat, a thriller set in a jungle. The film stars Priyanka Kothari and is set for a July 24 release.
RGV tells Patcy N more about the film and why he regrets making Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag.
Is Agyaat a horror film?
No. A horror film deals with the supernatural like ghosts and spirits. Agyaat is about a film unit that goes to a jungle for a shoot and is caught in a situation where they get killed one by one.
We have seen such kinds of films in Hollywood like Predator, Anaconda, Aliens or Blair Witch Project. The only difference is that there we can see the creature that is killing people. In Agyaat, we don’t know who or what is behind the killings. That is the uniqueness of this film. That’s why I have called it Agyaat (unidentified).
Do you think a Hollywood-styled film will work in India?
I am not stupid to think that the film will not work, and yet make it.
